1.e4 g6 {I had half expected a two knights defence. Games between Kevin and I usually end up in a bloodthirsty slugfest, the sort of chess I enjoy. Several years ago I decided to adopt the Sicilian Defence as my main opening when Black, feeling it suited my style. I studied it up. When I played it against Kevin he basically pushed me off the board. I haven't played it since. (RJ)} 2.d4 Bg7 3.Nf3 d6 4.Nc3 Nf6 5.Bg5 O-O 6.Qd2 a6 7.Bh6 Nc6 8.Bxg7 Kxg7 9.d5 Ne5 10.Nxe5 dxe5 11.Qg5 {Not so much to attack the pawn, but to get time to castle long, which would, for the moment, inhibit Black's freeing break of c6 or e6. (RJ)} Qd6 12.O-O-O b5 13.Bd3 {Now intending f3, g4, h4 and h5. (RJ)} Ng4 14.Rdf1 {Rhf1 was tempting, (RJ)} Qf6 {An interesting idea which I had not anticipated, involving the use of the pawn at e5 as a piton. It is aimed, I think, at forcing an exchange of queens, thereby killing off White's ambitions of a kingside attack.  (RJ)} 15.Qd2 Qf4 16.h3 Nxf2?? {A case of chess blindness - presumably only looking at the response Qxf4, after which Black keeps the pawn by Nxe3ch. (RJ)} 17.Rxf2 {#r}
